Why do you want to breed your birdies?
I don't know too much about cockatiels, but most birds often won't mate without being on the right diet, in the right enviroment, and being introduced correctly.
Is your female even receptive to mating? Do you know what kind of diet you should be feeding your female in prep for breeding?
Do you know much about hand feeding/raising baby birds?
If you don't know all of this you probably shouldn't be trying to get your birds to mate. Baby birds die very easily and females that are not genetically sound or on the correct diet can have trouble laying eggs and be injured or even die.

Also, why do they screech? How do you stop that?? They sing, and whistle sooo sweet, then sometimes just a loud screech?

They're talking to each other. Usually when they're screeching it's either an alert call or they want attention.
